BBC Radio 4 - Pick of the Week, Farrah JarralClose menu

Farrah Jarral chooses her BBC Radio highlights.

On Pick of the Week this week broadcaster Farrah Jarral, who's also a GP, asks: Who are we? and in answer to her question we hear from a son of the North whose muse took him back to Zion, listen to an extraordinary English poem from the 8th Century, and meet a trumpet player who defied life-destroying injuries to forge a path for himself and musicians with disabilities. We'll examine the long-standing feud between red and grey squirrels, ponder Things Called Jazz That Are Not Jazz, and lift the lid on Sheffield's sewers with some unexpectedly beautiful results.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
